The Infinite Sea Character Analysis

The majority of characters in A Place Where the Sea Remembers has felt regret and betrayal. It was hard for them to not do the things they did because of the fact that they were thinking of themselves. For example, Marta and Chayo have both felt regret and betrayal. Some characters have also felt this conflict, but Marta and Chayo are the ones that go through it the most.

All of the characters in Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys showed exceptional courage, but Joana was perhaps the bravest of them all. Joana was fleeing from her home country of Lithuania when she joined a group of other refugees from many different countries. She took the role of a nurse in the group, and would care for all wounds or illnesses. Joana put her life on the line multiple times to save others, but perhaps the biggest risk she took was in letting Emilia join her group. Emilia was Polish, and would have gotten every single one of them killed if caught by a German soldier. Joana wanted to help everyone she could, and was willing to put her life on the line to do so.

When hope and humanity began to dissipate, people looked to God to protect them. “God is testing us. He wants to see whether we are capable of overcoming our base instincts, of killing the satan within ourselves. We have no right to despair. And if he punishes us mercilessly it is a sign that He loves us that much more…” (Wiesel 45) Faith was a symbol of survival; a symbol of them making past all of this cruelty. Despite when they could no longer depend on their close ones due to them dying, they depended on God that he was doing this for a reason. “All the earth and the universe are God’s! He kept pausing, as though he lacked the strength to uncover the meaning beneath the text.” (Weisel 67) An abundance of people began to believe that their God was no longer there protecting them, and that is what made them plummet. Once they had lost their faith and hope, they had lost their reason to live. There must be meaning to the existence of the Earth, as there is meaning for the existence of each and every individual. People who saw this understanding, are the ones who were capable of holding on for their lives regardless of what it

Curiosity killed the cat, but it is also the reason we are so technologically advanced today. A society without curiosity would have no will, no drive, and people would wander around without meaning. This trait, curiosity, is the basis of mankind. As shown in the book, Equality possessed curiosity. He said, “But we loved the Science of Things. We wished to know. We wished to know about all the things which make the earth around us. We asked so many questions that the Teachers forbade it.”(23) The curiosity that

Humans are blessed and cursed with the highest mental consciousness in the animal kingdom. Our intellectuality places us above living by instinct, yet isn’t high enough to exempt us from the laws of nature; though our intellectual state allows us to easily forget the natural laws we, along with all living creatures, are governed by. Our mental consciousness is also the determining factor that allows humans to survive under the worst conditions. When we give up our will to survive we will almost surely die, perhaps simply because we no longer care enough about life try to live. “Every time people come at us with

By stating, “We are like you…We did not mean to murder, and when we understood, we never came again. We thought we were the only thinking beings in the universe, until we met you…We could live with you in peace” (Card 321), the author is trying to make a point that not everything is what it seems to be. The humans believed that the buggers would destroy them if they didn’t kill the buggers, so they ended their species in fear of their own ending. They hadn’t realized that the buggers stop fighting with them after they realized the huge mistake they made, and all they wanted was for the humans to forgive them.

What is the purpose of life? Is it just some way your soul can stay amused? Pleased? Is it all we are good for or is it the way people make eternity friends? Humans are horrible people. Not all of them, but a giant mass of the can’t live without war. Desciapable beings that only see the joy in destruction and explosions. They have this hunger that never seems to diminish in the ptis of their stomachs, like a predator gone mad for prey. They seem to drive for it, no matter who gets involved, whether it be innocent bystanders or their own flesh and blood. The more the merrier as they say although sometimes it’s not the best. Humans love to destroy what you knew all your life and just leave you for dead. Then again, that’s a part of nature. Kill

The Fifth Wave was an amazing book that included a lot of suspense and wonder. There are 5 Waves in the book. The 1st Wave is everything that is in the air, all electricity, is gone. The 2nd Wave is flooding. All coastal areas gone. The 3rd wave took longer to come, a deadly virus. Which took out billions. Trust no one is the first rule to the 4th Wave. It doesn’t matter what they look like, because they, the “Others” look and act the same as you. They also know how you think. The 5th wave, well that’s what the book is about. This book follows Cassie Sullivan’s wild adventure to rescue her brother, and to stay alone or die. Until she meets someone named Evan Walker who could help her rescue her brother. She has to make a big decision.

Many years ago, Charles Darwin introduced a theory that we humans are a species which evolved from animals that have inhabited the Earth for many years, and he believed that we were civilized, intelligent, and logical life forms for these very reasons. In the novel, Lord of the Flies by William Golding there is a prominent theme of good versus evil which reveals that maybe humans are not the civilized human beings that they were said to be. William Golding carefully netted this theme with his utilization of literary device such as his symbolism. Golding uses this simple story of English boys stranded on an inhabited island to illustrate how destructive humans can be when implanted in a impoverished environment where they

Losing one’s memory can be a mysterious affliction, and the causes can be quite complex. Severe memory loss is introduced in author Oliver Sacks’ collection of stories The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and lectures given by professor Jim Davies can help with understanding of some of the concepts introduced in the book. In chapter two, The Lost Mariner, the patient Jimmie is suffering from aspects of both retrograde and anterograde amnesia, which Davies explained as loss of memory of events or facts learned before an event (the event that caused the amnesia), and loss of ability to create new memories after the event, respectively. In more detail, and in relation to our book (here, the target example), retrograde amnesia would consist of any loss of memory that happened prior to an event, such as an injury or onset of disease in Jimmie’s case. Dr. Davies’ explanation of retrograde amnesia helps to understand Jimmie’s case, where in the year 1975 he is unable to recall any events after 1945. As well, the explanation of anterograde amnesia as including symptoms such as inability to form new memories, learn information or tasks, or to recall the recent past is useful when applied to Jimmie’s experience of not being able to recall events that happened even a few minutes prior. Jimmie’s suffering from both retro and anterograde amnesia, as explained by Sacks, results from Korsakov’s syndrome – a destruction of memory caused by alcoholic

In his article “All Animals Are Equal,” Peter Singer discusses the widely-held belief that, generally speaking, there is no more inequality in the world, because all groups of formerly oppressed humans are now liberated. However, it often goes without notice that there are groups of nonhuman animals that continue to face unequal treatment, such as those that are consumed or used as scientific test subjects. Singer’s article criticizes the belief that because humans are generally more intelligent than nonhuman animals, then all humans are superior to all nonhuman animals. Singer argues that intelligence is an arbitrary trait to base the separation of humans and nonhumans, and declares that the only trait that one can logically base moral value is the capacity to have interests, which is determined by a creature’s ability to suffer. Singer explains that in order to stay consistent with the basic principle of equality, anything that has the capacity to suffer ought to have its needs and interests recognized, just as humans’ needs and interests are currently recognized through what he calls “equal consideration.” In this paper, I will explain Singer’s notion of equal consideration as the only relevant sense of equality and why it applies to the rights of both human and nonhuman species that are

It can be argued that god did create humanity for a purpose, as why would he endow us with sense, reason and intellect if he intended us to forgo their use? It therefore logically follows that we must have some purpose, hidden or not that we are expected to fulfil, also why would the bible detail the creation of humans in such detail as is demonstrated in genesis 2, why would god, in this story, prioritise mankind over all others when the purpose if said entities is made apparent as animals are made to feed man, so if god endeavoured to assign a purpose to those supposedly subservient to mankind, why would he not give a purpose for mankind to fulfil, why also, according to the
